English tags over Japanese ones seem to be the general way the wind is blowing nowadays, but I don't think there's any English translation for dojikko. It doesn't just mean "clumsy" or any other english word, it's a specific character archetype that came out of manga/anime/otaku culture and it only has the one name. Therefore in situations like this I would be in favour of keeping 'dojikko'. It is unfortunate that it makes the tag harder to find though

Well, when I created this post I was divided between using "clumsy" and "dojikko", in the end, I chose to use "dojikko" because that's how I discovered the tag and thought it would be better to keep it like that, since we already have others tags that are used in japanese I didn't think it would be a problem. But either way, this is just a suggestion and the mods are free to change the name of the tag if they ended up adding it.

@fuckriri123 this is my own opinion but I think using japanese words is fine even when there's an english alternative. The reason being hentais are japanese. And while we do have non-japanese works, I believe that's still the main point of the site
to me it's not really about the tag being easy to search, because at that point any tag is hard to search since there's no aliases, and if there were, then the problem would be solved. As long as we have a tag for it people can figure it out, especially now that we have descriptions. And that's also why I think there shouldn't be too many tags
overall we should prioritize english words, and in this specific case it's a bit of a grey area because "dojikko" doesn't have a direct english translation, but at the same time "clumsy" or "klutz" would convey the same meaning
